Anthony, who has yet to say whether he'd agree to a deal, told the Denver Post his ultimate goal is to win a championship.

"Going to a bigger market is cool, but if I feel like I have a chance of winning a championship here in Denver in the next five years, then I’d sign the extension,” he said in the Post interview.

“It’s just uncertainty in the future of the (Nuggets) organization,” Anthony continued. “A lot of things come in to play: contracts and not knowing what’s going to happen in the future. I’m going into my ninth season. I don’t have time to waste. I want to see the light at the end of the tunnel in my future, and that light is a championship.”
